Johnson — who was off-duty at the time of the shooting — told jurors that she pulled off the Riverside (91) Freeway at the Central Avenue offramp when her husband threatened to kill her and began choking her after berating her for speaking to a male childhood friend at a T.G.I. Friday’s restaurant in Compton.

She said she told him to get out of her BMW and he responded by telling her that she could walk home and grabbed the keys out of the ignition. She said she started running away from the car and then stopped, worrying that he might get a gun out of her purse and shoot her.

“I saw the gun on the ground. I made the decision to go run and get it,” Johnson said, adding her husband seemed to be looking for the weapon. “I was scared. I didn’t want to die … When I grabbed it tight, it fired.”

On cross-examination by Deputy District Attorney Natalie Adomian, the former officer said her husband had physically abused her, including once in in a Las Vegas hotel room around 2008 resulting in an injury to her neck.

When the prosecutor asked about whether she had used tactics she had learned through the CHP to try to subdue her husband, she responded, “Ma’am, my husband wasn’t a suspect … I wasn’t thinking about tactics from work … I was scared.”

Kim, you’re a complete MORON! You must be a GHETTO BLACK SKANK to think like that. Can you name ALL the black cops that went to jail???????? I can’t remember any! You’re an idiot, stay in the ghetto, that’s where you belong!

I’m getting tired of the division of Americans by race or whatever. We are entering dangerous times. Our enemies do not distinguish between us, they want to kill us all. Let’s not make it easier for them by weakening our selves with silly self-inflicted wounds.
